What do you want?

People can make responsible decisions. My siblings cannot yet. They are too young.

[shipitsupersonic]

Well, that's something that needs to be taught. But I'm sure you know someone who makes poor life choices. And I bet nobody swoops in, makes the decisions for them, doesn't tell them what's going on, surprises them with a major life change, and then gets mad when the reaction is anything but rainbows and butterflies.

You may be moving your siblings, and maybe they don't get a say and that's fair, but I've seen people pull up to a house, inform a small child she lives here now, and then get mad because she cried.

[protective_logic]

Who could do that to a child!?

[shipitsupersonic]

Her mother.

[protective_logic]

You know what I mean

[shipitsupersonic]

I don't hate kids. I don't hate your kids. And that's all I will say under the sun.

[protective_logic]

So I have to get you drunk to know what it is I'm completely...

I mean...

Just... Have a happy new year?

[shipitsupersonic]

You too. Be safe.

[protective_logic]

We stay home for the holiday. You be safe if you're going out drinking.

[shipitsupersonic]

I will. I might just stay home.

[protective_logic]

I can't believe you'd miss a chance. If you do go out, call me. I'll see that you get a drink on me from the Eagle and Asp. I know the guy working blueside tonight.

[shipitsupersonic]

I will. You could come with me. We could get bar food and ... do you have a license? You could claim to be my designated.

[protective_logic]

Can't. I have kids to watch out for. We've got this whole new year's thing I can't duck out of. And then there is the fact that I don't have my license yet. Sorta... lost the will to practice.

[shipitsupersonic]

Well, if you want to come. You don't have to drink. We can people-watch.

[protective_logic]

I'm sorry I can't be there.

[shipitsupersonic]

We can do it on another day, all right?

[protective_logic]

Roger. I just... I wish I was there, I'll admit that.

[shipitsupersonic]

We can do it another night. You just tell me when.

[protective_logic]

I'll try to find a time. I don't know... I don't even know if we're doing this thing with my ex or not.

[shipitsupersonic]

Alright. Whatever you want, Delta. I can be flexible.

[protective_logic]

You never cease to amaze me with how willing you are to put up with my unreliableness.

[shipitsupersonic]

You're not unreliable. You don't make promises you can't keep. There's a difference.

[protective_logic]

I made a promise to love a man with all my heart. Tell me I made a promise I could keep there. Tell me that...

[A small, sad sigh.]

I'm sorry. I'm... worked up lately.

[shipitsupersonic]

Did you stop loving him?

[protective_logic]

I wouldn't even know how to do so. I wish I could. God I wish I could.
